six degrees, seventeen degrees

refers to the kevin bacon game and to the temperature, respectively.

in a moment of boredom while waiting for my family to arrive yesterday, i clicked to friendster and was reading up on my personal friends’ profiles when, up in the righthand corner, i see a familliar face and “nayomi is in your personal network.” so i clicked and looked to see how many hundreds of people connected nayomi and my profiles, and to my surprise, discovered that there are only four degrees (no, not six) between us! yes, i’m friends with ellen, who is friends with someone named micah. he’s friends with ariana and she’s nayomi’s friend from high school. it’s also funny b/c friendster is on the “who cares” list in the spec this week. the quote is “friends of friends are not your friends!” well, i suppose that’s true, unless they actually are.

my family and i went to the ham-tech vs. bates football game this afternoon with blankets and crazy creeks and mittens and hot chocolate. we saw hamilton ::gasp:: score a touchdown and then ::gasp:: score a fieldgoal, and we might have even see them win their second game of the season, had it not been seventeen degrees out. we gave up and had to come back to my room, where we all took a nap. see, it’s not my fault i’m a nap-addict. i was just raised this way.

then we went to dinner, where my mom and i split a piece of strawberry cheesecake, and to the hamilton orchestra/jazz band concert, where everyone got to personally experience the insanity that is doctuh woods. every time my mom and my brother rehearse their future stand-up comedy routine or my dad just thinks something is cool, i get so excited and i just have to laugh. my family is so much fun.

quote of the day: “then the cameras click then we are stars /laughing in the back of chauffeured cars /phone call rings and your voice is desire /then winter moves into summer fires /i promised you what’s ours is ours” – third eye blind

love always, em locke
